A town councillor has been filmed waving her walking stick in a cameraman's face after complaining that she is being harrassed. It follows a long-running dispute between Cllr Gina Coles and local newspaper the Dartmouth Chronicle.

In the video Cllr Coles tells Mayor Richard Brookes that the camera was focused on her. But the cameraman sitting opposite replies that it is set to panoramic to include the whole council chamber.

However independent freelance cameraman John Walker then zooms in on Cllr Coles, who then begins to pack up her papers and slowly gets up to leave. His camera then follows Cllr Coles who shakes her walking stick at the lens.
